2000 Florida Statutes

Section 110.108, Florida Statutes 2000

110.108  Personnel pilot projects.--

(1)  It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage greater efficiency and effectiveness of state government through improvements in the delivery of services and the administration of government programs. Therefore, the Legislature intends to grant, on a pilot basis, managerial flexibility for the personnel programs of selected state agencies. An agency must have developed and submitted a performance-based budget, including performance measures, before submitting a plan for a personnel flexibility pilot project, unless such plan is otherwise approved for implementation by the Legislature.

(2)  Each agency seeking managerial flexibility for its personnel programs shall develop a plan for its pilot project. A project may not exceed 3 years in duration absent specific legislative approval. The pilot project plan must include, at a minimum:

(a)  The goals and objectives of the project;

(b)  Baseline performance data on the personnel functions to be affected by the project, including a description of how the data will be measured and tracked throughout the project;

(c)  A specific description of the current law, rule, or procedure that the pilot project is designed to address along with a proposal for changing the law, rule, or procedure; and

(d)  A description of how the pilot program may be applicable to other state agencies.

(3)  An agency shall submit its plans for a pilot project to the Legislature by February 1 in order for the project to be considered during the regular legislative session. The Legislature shall grant approval for the pilot project, either by general act, or through proviso in the General Appropriations Act.

(4)  After the Legislature approves a plan for a personnel flexibility pilot project, the agency must prepare and submit a progress report to the Legislature and the Department of Management Services every 6 months, or sooner, if so requested by the Legislature. Upon completion of the pilot project, the agency shall prepare and submit a final report on the project within 6 months of termination of the project.
